... I am in the enjoyment of such health as I have never had before. Mr. Henry said, 'I bless God that I am never tired of my work, yet I am often tired in my work.' By the blessing of God I can say more: I am never tired in my work. From the beginning of the day or the week or the year to the end I do not know what weariness means. I am never weary of writing or preaching or traveling; but am just as fresh at the end as at the beginning. Thus it is with me to-day, and I take no thought for to-morrow. I am in hopes Dr. Coke will come to you. See letter of July 3, 1784. To Mr. Barry, Shelburne, Nova Scotia. To Mrs. Freeman 4 LONDON, February 1, 1785. MY DEAR SISTER, - So strange things come to pass I I did not expect to hear of Mr. Smyth's 'living in lodgings.' I do not remember the person who is so kind as to offer me a lodging; and I know no reason why I should not accept of it if I live to see Dublin again.' It gives me pleasure to hear that the work of God flourishes among you. I did not doubt but it would when He sent that earnest couple Mr. and Mrs. James Rogers. to Dublin. He will send a blessing with them wherever they go. And that you and yours may partake of it more and more is the wish of, my dear sister, Yours affectionately. To Samuel Bardsley 5 LONDON, February 12, 1785. Yours affectionately, To Adam Clarke 6 LONDON, February 12, 1785.
